Expensive but special and other Ulm, Germany Restaurant Reviews

Restaurant Name: Gerber Haus

The 'Gerber Haus' is located in the quarter 'Fischerviertel', near the parking garage 'Fischerviertel'.
It's a bit hard to find, as there are many restaurants all around, but if you like delicious food and don't mind to pay a bit more you should definitely go there. Atmosphere is great, big windows giving a view on the litttle river 'Blau', mixture of rustic and local interieur. Quiet and no smoky air!
It is famous for it's fish- and vegetarian dishes, but you can find a great variety of local dishes, which are also very recommendable.
Service is good, staff is mostly Swabian ladies, sometimes a bit shortspoken :-) but never mind, that's a local attitude.
Guests are mostly business-travelers and elder locals.
Open daily 11.30-14.00 and 17.30 till end.

Favorite Dish: Look out for the menus of the day.

Restaurant Name: Weinkrüger

Restaurant 'Weinkrüger' serves a big choice of local dishes - rustic interieur and atmosphere. It burned down a few years ago but the building was restored completely. Prices are reasonable, food is good, quite large portions. Mainly visited by tourists but you can find locals also. Staff is of east-bloc origin, you can hear lots of Russian. Very good and friendly service.
Located like so many other restaurants in the cosy quarter 'Fischerviertel'.

Favorite Dish: Local dishes. Great 'Spätzle' :-)

Restaurant Name: Alexandre

Alexandre is located in the old town hall ('Rathaus') in the city centre. It serves all kind of food, from breakfast - lunch - diner. It is a big place and mostly very crowded. They have music playing all day, it's atmosphere is loud and busy. Prices are average. Food is good but nothing special. Local and international dishes and snacks. Interieur is modern, other than you would expect from the outside. The old town-hall building is richly decorated and quite a sight.
Many people come here to have a few drinks, as they serve a good choice of beer and cocktails too.
Young guests, many students.
Open 9am to 1am, 2am on weekends.

Restaurant Name: Barfüßer (Barfuesser)

Barfüßer / Barfuesser is a restaurant which serves 'local' (-> Bavarian) food and home-brewed beer which is very tasty. Good food, but heavy. Prices are average, I'd say. Very big place right in the city-center, in sight of the Ulmer Muenster (cathedral).
There are many tourists and you will most likely stumble over someone wearing either an A&F sweatshirt or an USS-something cap, asking for a 'Weisswurst-sandwich'. (tip for those: remember to peel off the skin of the weisswurst)
Every tuesday evening there's a caraoke-event at Barfuesser's and the place is bursting with people. Sing and get a pitcher for free.
Open daily 10am - 1am (2am thursday to sunday).
There's another Barfuesser restaurant with Biergarten at the Danube on the Neu-Ulm side (oposite the Maritim hotel).

Favorite Dish: Schweinshaxe mit Kartoffelsalat or Flammkuchen and a pint Dunkles Bier. Mh.
